The second day of testing for the MotoGP class is underway at Phillip Island. The day kicked off with fifteen minutes of practice starts for the riders, after which almost the entire field took to the track to make use of near perfect conditions.

Maverick Viñales made the best use of the opportunity, putting in an early time attack to go top, with three laps in the 1'28s in a row. Viñales has then settled into the 1'29s, along with Marc Marquez, who is currently second. Aleix Espargaro pushed for a quick lap early, the Aprilia rider currently in third, ahead of Cal Crutchlow on the LCR Honda. Valentino Rossi is currently fifth, eight tenths behind his Movistar Yamaha teammate on his 38th birthday.

Dani Pedrosa is absent from the timesheets this morning. The Repsol Honda rider has a throat infection, and so is being treated in the Clinica Mobile.
